Native America Calling: Art from hardship

Art from hardship
Native Americans have a long and rich tradition of producing artwork from behind bars.
In the past, it was both a means of artistic expression and a way to document and communicate important events. Modern inmate artwork is also a vehicle for creative expression. It is also a valuable tool for personal growth and rehabilitation.
Join Native America Calling to hear about artwork’s healing and redemptive significance for incarcerated Native Americans.
